Well, it's no lie that Final Fantasy VIII had a big challenge ahead of it back in 1999. In the wake of one of the most critically acclaimed and best-received games of all time (FFVII), Square had a huge undertaking on their hands. To the surprise of many of us, Square decided to steer the series in a more realistic scene, with character proportions and costumes more in line with what we would see in movies. The vision was grand, and the result was gorgeous, but for anything but CGI cutscenes and pre-rendered backgrounds, the visuals made use of our powerful imaginations much more than one should expect of a gamer.

The worlds were endearing and everything about the game made me love it, but now, 14 years later, the game looks very outdated. The textures are not smooth and the textures are smudged.

The loading times I dread even putting the game in for fear of reverting to it.

So, who's down for a remake?

Play it with Petes Plugins, it won't look as outdated. And I don't want a remake, it would take ages.

i would rather prefer remakes of ff6, ff5, ff7 and ff4, in that order. ff9 was also a *very* good game but i like it the way it is.

looking at the pictures they were already taken off an emulator.

If it were made, though, in an ideal world, would you buy it? Something that looks like FFX but is actually FFVIII.

That first picture remind me of this...(go to 6:19)

Im sorry. I cant stand anybody request a remake of a classic based solely being shallow. FF8 is still as great as it was a decade ago. That goes for all FF's.

Definetly!

I down for that and it's more likely to happen then a FFVII remake. I'd like them to change the levelling system tho never liked it
